Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Integrated Laboratory Solutions LLP, based at Airedale General Hospital, Keighley, relates to the award of a contract under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. The focus is on the delivery of pathology services, specifically the provision of referral services for biochemistry diagnostic tests in the UKE41 region. This contract, valued at £15,000, is set for the period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with options for extension. The procurement stage is complete, having employed a limited procurement method known as the Direct Award Process A, due to the absence of competition for technical reasons.

This tender provides excellent opportunities for businesses with expertise in the pathology services sector, particularly those with capabilities in delivering microbiology scheme referred tests. However, as the award is directed to Cardiff And Vale ULHB, an existing provider deemed the only capable supplier due to essential clinical and operational interdependencies, new entrants may not have had the opportunity to bid in this process. Nonetheless, businesses specialising in pathology services should keep abreast of future opportunities that utilise similar procurement methods, which might provide avenues for participation in public contracts.
